texis30O Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I am in desperate need of a new tranny. Mine has bit the DUST!!!!!! ( or exploded) I am looking for a 82-83 280ZX-T T5.....I am in the houston area....anyone point me in the right direction? I have two options....buy a 280 tranny or put a new clutch in the one I currently have and PRAY it will hold together.......I am not sure what to do. I am leaning twords buying a 280 tranny but I am not sure of the pricing on them of the avalibility. I have to wait till Mon to start calling salvage yard to see if there are any avalible here in the HOUSTON area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 12 strokes and no pokes..........lol....someone has to know where I can get one. I am up early cause I can't FREAKIN" SLEEP!!!!!!I am going to start searching around town this morning and see what my dad's old contacts can come up with........ What about a rebuild kit from www.drivetrain.com, on a T5 that is currently bad? Think that the kit would hold up? Anyone know what the costs would be to get the tranny? Clutch? Flywheel?

texis30O Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 It all depends on the price. I am not looking to spend a wad ( 1000.00) I was hoping more like 500 but I don't know if I am being realistic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad-ManQ45 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I am converting my '83 to an automatic, so I have all parts (bellhousing, Flywheel, bolts, tranny, shifter, master and slave cylinder, hydraulic tubing and plate between engine and tranny)... You will need a clutch tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
